YALE IN THE FORESTRY MOVEMENT
By Henry SoLton GRAVES
Director of the Yale Forest School, 1900 to 1911, now Chief of the
United States Forest Service
The Yale Forest School was established when the movement
of forestry in this country was in its infancy—at a time when
the majority of the people of the country were ignorant of,
indifferent to, or opposed to the aims and methods of forestry.
The history of the School has been coincident with a most
remarkable development of forestry throughout the country.
The Yale School has a very large share of credit for this develop-
ment; without Yale and the other forest schools the results of
the last decade could never have been achieved. No country
has yet succeeded in establishing forestry on a permanent footing
except through well trained foresters. Forestry had its real
beginning in the United States when there were men to initiate
the work of putting its principles into actual practice.
In the minds of the founders of the Yale School there was
not only a recognition of the need of trained men to carry on
the work of forestry, but there was also a determined purpose
to set a high standard of education that would train its students
for leadership in the development of the science and practice
of forestry. No task before the School has been more difficult.
In the early days the technical demands on the forester were
small. Oftentimes his first work was purely administrative, for
which a very elementary knowledge of forestry would suffice.
The demand for men was at that time so great that a young man
with but little training could secure a place with the Government
or elsewhere. There was therefore a tremendous pressure for
a short-cut education, and to omit many fundamental features
of technical training that did not seem of immediate practical
application. But the School consistently maintained its high
technical requirements, because it was training men to develop
forestry and not merely to fill certain positions that might be
available.
8 YALE FOREST SCHOOL
The keynote of forestry is foresight. In the first work of
organizing forestry there must be a clear vision of future
development. Otherwise no real progress is possible. Every
step undertaken in handling a forest has an effect on its future
condition, whether it involves the building of trails, the location
of cuttings, the method of cuttings, or the organization of a
protective system. The man who has a proper training can
look ahead and guide his work to meet the requirements of a
real upbuilding of his forest. The man with no such knowledge
will invariably work on a basis of immediate expediency, without
consideration of what is to be the ultimate development of the
forest. Many do not appreciate the vital influence of single
localized operations on the development of the forest in the
future, because mistakes may not be discovered or good work
appreciated for a long time.
Already the need for a high standard of forest education
‘has been demonstrated. I regard the part Yale has been able
to play in maintaining this standard as one of its largest achieve-
ments; it is the real reason for the School’s leadership in.
forestry and the confidence it has acquired throughout the
country. The graduates of the School have been leaders because
they have had a point of view and knowledge beyond that
needed for the every-day work which they first find to do.
In addition to the educational foundations secured at the
School, the graduates have shown a spirit of public service
and devotion to their work that has contributed largely to their
leadership. The forestry movement will have a very vital
influence on the internal development and lasting prosperity
of the country. Every forester is working toward an end
which will benefit the nation, whether he is in public service
or in the employ of a lumber company. This body of men
scattered throughout all the states constitutes an educational
force that is irresistible.
Through the devoted work of its Faculty and the enthusiastic
and consistent spirit of loyal service of its graduates, the Yale
Forest School has already accomplished results which deserve
high credit. Its work, however, is still in its infancy. In per-
forming its part in developing public forest policies, both for
the Nation and the states, in building up the science of forestry,
YALE IN THE FORESTRY MOVEMENT 9
and getting its principles in actual practice, Yale has a great
opportunity and a great responsibility to serve the country.
When we read the history of the School contained in this volume,
let it be with the feeling that it tells of the foundation for a
work which everyone associated with the School aims to do for
the Nation. It is an account of the past to be of help for the
future.
THE YALE FOREST SCHOOL
AN HISTORICAL SKETCH
By JAMES WILLIAM TOUMEY
Director of the Yale Forest School, and a professor in the School since
its foundation
The first great step in forest conservation in the United
States was taken in 1891 when, through the action of Congress,
the President was given authority to set aside forest reserva-
tions. Previous to this time forestry in the United States
was chiefly propaganda. There were less than a half dozen
trained foresters in the entire country. It was soon found
necessary, however, to appoint supervisors, forest rangers, and
other forest officers to take charge of the newly created reser-
vations. The work was organized with men having little or
no knowledge of technical forestry. Even before the creation
of the National forests some of the states had begun to develop
a progressive forest policy and to acquire land for state forests.
The beginnings were also made in forestry on privately owned
timber land. At the beginning of the present century not only
the National government but many of the states and, to some
extent, private owners of large forest properties were seeking
trained foresters.
As early as 1887 a course of lectures on technical forestry was
given by Bernhard E. Fernow at the Massachusetts Agricultural
College. This was the first instruction in forestry given by a
trained forester at an educational institution in the United
States. Prior to this date some of the agricultural colleges
sustained chairs of botany and forestry combined. In no instance,
however, were the men who occupied them trained foresters,
nor did they teach technical forestry.
In 1898 Dr. Fernow resigned his position as chief of the
Division of Forestry of the United States Department of Agri-
culture and organized and became director of the New York
State College of Forestry at Cornell University. This was the
first school of technical forestry in the United States. About

AN HISTORICAL SKETCH II
the same time a small private school was established by Carl
A. Schenck at Biltmore, N. C. The former school was aban-
doned after three years of successful work through the lack of
state support; the latter is still in existence.
The great impetus given to American forestry through the
creation of the National forests, the activities of the separate
states in furthering a progressive forest policy, and the rapid
expanse of the work of the Division of Forestry under the new
chief, Gifford Pinchot, created a demand almost over night
for a large number of technically trained men. Mr. Pinchot
had been trained in the forest schools of Europe and became
the leading figure in American forestry. He soon realized that
his vision of forest conservation could not be attained without
an able corps of men thoroughly trained in technical forestry
and familiar with American life and institutions. The two
schools, at Cornell and Biltmore, with uncertain tenure of life,
could not be depended upon to supply the large numbers of
men immediately required and the continually increasing number
that would probably be necessary for some years to come.
Early in the spring of 1900 it was announced by the President
of Yale University that a gift of one hundred and fifty thousand
dollars had been received to endow a graduate school of forestry.
Two ideas of fundamental importance stand forth in this
announcement; namely, an endowed institution and a graduate
school. For the first time in America the new profession of
forestry was placed upon a high plane requiring the best type
of scholarship and a thorough scientific foundation. The fact
of an endowed institution assured permanency and the possibility
of substantial and gradual development.
The gift under which the School was founded was from Mr.
and Mrs. James W. Pinchot and their sons, Gifford Pinchot and
Amos R. E. Pinchot. It provided for a department in the Uni-
versity to be known as the Yale Forest School and a summer
school of forestry at Milford, Pike County, Pa. The object
of the School, as expressed in the terms of the gift, is both
instruction and research in forestry. The University in accept-
ing the gift agreed to provide the necessary buildings to house
the School until the new institution was in a financial position
to erect buildings for its special use.
12 YALE FOREST SCHOOL
Early in the summer of 1900 Henry Solon Graves, of the
Division of Forestry, was appointed director of the new School,
and the following Board of Governors organized the instruction
and administration :
Arthur T. Hadley, LL.D., president.
Henry S. Graves, M.A., professor of forestry.
William H. Brewer, Ph.D., professor of agriculture.
Gifford Pinchot, B.A., special lecturer on forest policy.
The School was fortunate in securing Mr. Graves as its first
director, and its success is largely due to his foresight and
counsels and to his high ideals of education in this comparatively
new field.
Following the announcement of the School a circular was
issued outlining the plan and the proposed courses of study. In
June James W. Toumey, of the Division of Forestry, was
appointed assistant professor of forestry.
In the organization of the School it was realized that from the
standpoint of technical training two classes of men were required
to successfully carry on the work in forestry in the United
States. First, men trained in the broad field of technical forestry,
competent to organize and administer forest property and con-
duct scientific investigations. Second, men especially skilled in
the conduct of woods work and fitted for rangers, inspectors
and foremen. In order to prepare men for the former, the
Forest School was made a graduate department of the Univer-
sity. A summer school was maintained for several years at
Milford. Entrance examinations were not required and certifi-
cates of attendance were issued at the expiration of the eight
weeks’ course. Because of the opportunity that it would give
school teachers to become familiar with the methods of field
work, particularly in silviculture and dendrology, the course was
at first opened to women.
The Faculty included but one professor of forestry and one
assistant professor. The remainder of the teaching staff was
from the other departments of the University. Their work was
supplemented by courses of special lectures by Gifford Pinchot
and Frederick H. Newell.
A two-year course of study was prescribed, the terms coin-
ciding with those of the other departments of the University.
AN HISTORICAL SKETCH 13
Entrance requirements were much more liberal than at present.
Graduates of universities, colleges and scientific schools of high
standing were accepted without examination, provided they could
show requisite knowledge of botany, geology and chemistry.
Others were required to pass examinations in mathematics,
botany, geology, chemistry, physics, German or French, English
and political economy. Special students were admitted without
examination when they were able to present other evidence of
their fitness to pursue the courses given. The tuition charges
were one hundred dollars per year. '
Looking back from a perspective of thirteen years the curricu-
lum is simple in the extreme, and may be characterized by the
emphasis placed upon courses in botany, geology and zoology,
and the comparatively limited work in technical forestry. The
forestry subjects in the curriculum were as follows: outline
of forestry, silviculture, forest management, forest measure-
ments, forest technology, lumbering, forest protection, forest
history, forest administration and state and National forestry.
With the exception of one short course of six lectures given
by Gifford Pinchot the entire field was covered by the director
and the assistant professor.
Provision was made for field work at New Haven, Milford
and in the Adirondack Mountains. In the first announcement
of the courses, field work was only briefly mentioned as follows:
“Frequent excursions will be taken to points of interest near
New Haven. In the spring of the second year the work will be
transferred from New Haven to the field, the first few weeks
being spent in Pennsylvania and the remaining time in the
Adirondacks.”
1900-1901
The first term of the regular course began on Thursday,
September 27, 1900. Seven students were enrolled and remained
to complete the two years’ course, and in addition thirteen
Academic and two Sheffield students attended one or more
courses. The director and four of the regular students lived
in Marsh Hall, which was provided by the University for the
use of the School. In November, 1900, the first annual catalogue
of the School was published, and included practically the same
14 YALE FOREST SCHOOL
subject matter as the preliminary announcement. There was a
more detailed account of the field work, and a list of the seven
students in attendance.
During the year the School received in gifts to its equipment
a splendid collection of axes and a large number of wood-work-
ing tools from W. D. Simmons of St. Louis, Mo., and a valuable
collection of saws from H. C. Atkins of Indianapolis, Ind. Mr.
Toumey gave his herbarium containing two thousand five
hundred species of indigenous trees and shrubs to the School.
The library was enlarged through the gift of three hundred
and twenty-five volumes from Gifford Pinchot. )
I9OI—1902
Early in 1901 an illustrated circular announcing the Yale
Summer School of Forestry was published. The course as
planned, and later carried out, covered a period of eight weeks
beginning July 8, 1901. No entrance examinations were
required, but no one under seventeen years of age was admitted.
The teaching staff consisted of the director and the assistant
professor. The following courses were offered: introduction to
forestry, silviculture, forest botany, forest measurements and
forest protection. Twenty-seven students were enrolled, seven
of whom were women. The latter had all the privileges of the
School with the exception of living and boarding in camp.
At the opening of the regular course in 1901 the previous
year’s class of seven members was augmented by three men
from the Division of Forestry. The Junior class had a member-
ship of twenty-one. The School was now for the first time in
full operation, and the Faculty was called upon to give instruc-
tion in all the courses offered in the curriculum. In many
respects, from the standpoint of instruction, it was the most
critical period in the history of the School. With more than
four times as many students as the previous year, and with the
technical courses of the Senior year given for the first time,
the burden of instruction was very great. The following courses
were added: forest entomology, forest administration and law,
and forest administration abroad.
During the second year the field work was more fully organ-
ized. A year before an agreement was made by the School
AN HISTORICAL SKETCH 15
in
and the New Haven Water Company whereby a portion of
the forest property of the company was placed under the man-
agement of the School, thus making a large body of woodland
near New Haven available for purposes of instruction and
experiment. The field work in silviculture was chiefly confined
to this tract. Arrangements were made for the Seniors to spend
the last three weeks of the autumn term in lumber camps in
northern New England.
After the Easter recess the work with the Senior class was
transferred to Central Valley, N. Y., where the entire spring
term was devoted to field work. A working plan was prepared
for a forest of 15,000 acres owned by E. H. Harriman of New
York.
On the completion of their work, for the college year ending
June, 1902, the degree Master of Forestry was conferred upon
eight members of the Senior class, and the first graduates of
the School were ready to begin their professional careers in a
field just beginning to develop rapidly in the United States.
Soon after graduating, two members of the class, namely, Roy
L. Marston and Alfred Akerman, were engaged as instructors.
1902-1903
The second session of the summer school was under Mr.
-Toumey, who was assisted by Walter Mulford, State Forester
of Connecticut. Nineteen students were in attendance, of whom
six were women. A large percentage of the male students were
undergraduates from Eastern universities and colleges, nine
of whom later entered the School for the regular two-year
course.
The curriculum was greatly extended and the courses re-
arranged during the third year. In September, 1902, Alfred
Akerman and Roy L. Marston began their work as instructors.
The position of assistant in botany, occupied the previous year
by C. E. Preston, was filled by Arthur H. Graves. Howard S.
Betts was appointed assistant in the wood testing laboratory,
and Herman von Schrenk lecturer on diseases of trees to take
the position formerly occupied by William C. Sturgis.
At the opening of the term twenty-six men enrolled in the
entering class. Heretofore the students had been largely drawn
16 YALE FOREST SCHOOL
from the Eastern states. In this class, however, all parts of
the United States were represented, and one student came from
Japan. The National character of the School for the first time
became apparent in its student body. The course formerly given
by Mr. Verrill was given by Mr. Britton, State Entomologist
of Connecticut. The courses in introduction to forestry and
history of forestry were taken by Mr. Akerman, who also
assisted Director Graves in the work in silviculture. The courses
in lumbering and forest protection were taken by Mr. Marston,
who also assisted Director Graves in forest management. The
work in engineering was extended. Field surveying was given
by Mr. Tracy, and a new course in forest engineering was
under Mr. Marston. Through the generosity of George H.
Myers, M.F. ’o2, three thousand dollars was received to pay
for the equipment of a laboratory in forest technology, and
instruction in timber testing was given by Mr. Betts. Through
codperation with the Division of Forestry the laboratory was
opened for investigation on the mechanical properties of wood.
In the early winter (December, 1902) the members of the
Senior class were located in lumber camps in Maine, New
Hampshire, New York, Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina,
Florida and Texas. Each student prepared a detailed report
on lumbering in the region studied. The spring field work
with the Senior class was at West Point Military Reservation,
where a study was made of a large hardwood tract east of the
Hudson River. The area was mapped and a working plan made
under which it has since been managed.
There was a large increase in attendance, the registration in
the regular course being forty-four students compared with
thirty-three the previous year. They represented twenty-three
collegiate institutions in fifteen states.
The endowment of the School was increased through the gift
of fifty thousand dollars by Mrs. J. W. Pinchot and Gifford
Pinchot. This gift enabled the Governing Board very materially
to modify the courses of study, add a summer term to the regular
course, and greatly increase the field work. The principal addi-
tions to the equipment of the School were through the purchase
of a portion of the technical library of the late Charles Mohr.
AN HISTORICAL SKETCH 17
1903-1904
The third session of the summer school, which opened on July
I, 1903, was reduced to seven weeks. Mr. Marston was in
charge. The curriculum remained unchanged with the exception
of greater diversity in the work, due to the larger number of
special lectures. Fifteen students were in attendance, none of
whom were women. Of those in attendance seven later entered
the regular course. Mr. Akerman resigned at the close of the
collegiate year in June and accepted the position of State Forester
of Massachusetts.
The registration in the regular course was sixty-six, repre-
senting thirty-three collegiate institutions in twenty-three states.
There was one student each from the Philippine Islands and
Sweden. The large increase in students in the Senior class was
partly due to the discontinuance of the College of Forestry
at Cornell University. Special arrangements were made whereby
students from that institution were admitted to the Yale Forest
School, and ten men availed themselves of this arrangement.
Although no additions were made to the list of regular
instructors, it became necessary to employ a number of tempo-
rary assistants because of the unexpectedly large number of
students. Walter Mulford was employed to assist in the courses
in silviculture and forest mensuration, and Austin Cary in the
field work of the Senior class at Milford. Harry Tiemann,
M.F. ’03, was appointed engineer in the technological laboratory
in the place of H. S. Betts, and continued in this position until
1909, when work in cooperation with the United States Govern-
ment was discontinued.
In late December a disastrous fire broke out in Marsh Hall.
It started in the basement and burned or severely injured the
testing laboratory, the assembly hall, two recitation rooms. and
the instrument room. The School records, the library and
herbarium were saved. For two weeks at the beginning of the
winter term recitations and lectures were held at the Sheffield
Scientific School. The restored building was in many respects
better adapted to the requirements of the School than before
the fire. The equipment at the summer school was greatly
improved by the construction of three buildings which were the
gift of Mr. and Mrs. James W. Pinchot. ‘Through the further
2
18 YALE FOREST SCHOOL
generosity of George H. Myers the forest library of the late
Dr. Robert Hartig was purchased and donated to the School.
This collection contained fifteen hundred books and pamphlets
representing the accumulation of many years. It is particularly
rich in German periodicals and early books and pamphlets on
forestry, many of which are long out of print and difficult to
obtain.
For: the first time the spring field work of the regular course
was conducted at Milford, with Mr. Marston and Austin Cary,
instructors. It later became apparent that it would be necessary
to rearrange the curriculum and increase the amount of field
work in order to realize more fully the object of instruction.
During the winter an announcement was published of proposed
changes in the curriculum. Experience had shown that the
courses in forest mensuration and silviculture could not be
satisfactorily taught without more field work. It became neces-
sary to add to the Junior year a term wholly devoted to field
work. Accordingly, the Junior year in 1904 opened at Milford
at the same time asthe summer school.
Heretofore the tuition for the Junior and Senior years was
one hundred dollars each. Beginning in July, 1904, it was raised
to one hundred and fifty dollars for the Junior year, and a year
later to one hundred and twenty-five dollars for the Senior year.
To the present no further changes in tuition charges have been
made.
Thereafter the Junior class met at the School camp at Milford
with the summer school students. The field and classroom work
of the two classes, however, were wholly distinct and usually
under separate instructors. The session of the summer school
was seven weeks as in, the previous year, but the regular term
continued three weeks longer. Two distinct bodies of students
tented in the same encampment and dined together, but the
character of the instruction was necessarily wholly different.
1904-1905
Under this new arrangement the Junior courses in the sum-
mer of 1904 were given by Director Graves, assisted by E. E.
Carter, M.F. ’04. Mr. Toumey was assisted by A. H. Graves
in carrying the work of the summer school. The work with

AN HISTORICAL SKETCH 19
the Juniors was confined to the following courses: foundation
of silviculture, treatment of woodlands and forest mensuration.
Thirty-four men were enrolled in the Junior class and eighteen
in the summer school.
The experiment of shifting a large part of the field work
to an extra summer term proved successful. At the opening
of the autumn term at New Haven the total attendance was
sixty-three exclusive of those from other departments.
The next year surveying was transferred to the summer term.
On January 2, 1905, both the Junior and Senior classes met in
Washington, D. C., to attend the Forest Congress. For one
week the students attended the sessions of the Congress and the
following week a series of specially arranged addresses and
lectures to which students from other schools were also invited.
The Forest Club, composed of Faculty and students, was
organized and has continued to meet on alternate Wednesday
evenings except in the summer term. During the early winter
a-group of Seniors with a smaller number of Juniors met and
organized the Robin Hood Society of Foresters. After an
existence of six years the organization was discontinued. The
accumulated funds in the treasury of the society to the extent
of more than five hundred dollars were contributed to the
Graduates Fund of the School.
Shortly after the opening of the winter term Director Graves
was commissioned by the Forest Service to visit India and the
Philippine Islands to secure information relative to educational
instruction in forestry that would best fit students for the prac-
tice of forestry in tropical regions and particularly in the Philip-
pine Islands. During the six months of Director Graves’ absence
Mr. Toumey was acting director, and B. E. Fernow, the former
director of the New York State College of Forestry, conducted
some of the courses. A. F. Hawes, M.F. ’03, State Forester of
Connecticut, also assisted in instruction.
As in the previous year, after the Easter recess, the work
with the Senior class was transferred to the School camp at
Milford. It became apparent, however, that it was unwise to
continue the spring field work at this place since the men were
already thoroughly familiar with the region. It seemed desir-
able that a wholly new field be selected for the spring work
20 YALE FOREST SCHOOL
where lumbering operations were in progress and where condi-
tions were better suited for the preparation of forest maps,
the projection of logging roads, the estimating of timber and
the making of working plans. Since the spring of 1905 it has
been conducted on large tracts of virgin timber in the South.
The most important addition to the collections of the School
during the year was a large assortment of forest products from
the St. Louis Exposition. A former collection of exotic woods
from the Buffalo Exposition had been severely damaged the
year before in the fire at the School. The material from St.
Louis and much besides is stored because of lack of space for
display. As soon as a School building is erected this material
can be arranged and made available for exhibition and purposes
of instruction.
As in former years the majority of the twenty-nine members
of the graduating class entered the Forest Service. The rapid
expansion of the work of the Government under the direction
of Gifford Pinchot gave opportunity for all who desired to begin
the practice of their profession on the National Forests, which
had been only recently transferred from the Department of the
Interior to the Department of Agriculture and placed directly
under the management of the Forest Service.
1905-1906
The year beginning July, 1905, was the most satisfactory
from the standpoint of the curriculum since the organization
of the School. The instruction was made more efficient and
foundations were laid for still further improvements the fol-
lowing year. The important change in the engineering courses
became effective at the opening of the summer term. The
course was conducted by J. C. Tracy, assisted by C. S. Farnham
and W. L. Ulrich. For the first time a course in field dendrol-
ogy was included in the summer work. Since 1905 there have
been no marked changes in the courses as given at Milford.
Only three courses are offered; namely, surveying, forest
mensuration and field dendrology. Among the thirty-six men
enrolled in the regular course were students from Canada,
Norway, Sandwich Islands and South Africa. Eighteen attended
the summer school, five of whom later entered the regular course.
AN HISTORICAL SKETCH 21
Herman H. Chapman, M.F. ’04, of the Forest Service, was
employed as assistant during the winter and spring terms. A
course in State Forest law was given during the winter by Mr.
Chapman. In April Mr. Marston resigned to enter the lumber
business in Maine, and the field work in lumbering as formerly
conducted by locating the students in lumber camps for a period
of three weeks after the Thanksgiving recess was abandoned.
The Senior field work of the spring term was conducted at
Waterville, N. H., on a tract of 22,000 acres owned by the
International Paper Company. The topographic work was under
the direction of Henry Gannett, geographer of the United States
Geological Survey. The forest work was conducted by Mr.
Chapman.
The field work in silviculture was better organized, the autumn
term being devoted to silvical excursions and investigations in
the woods about New Haven and the remainder of the year to
thinnings, improvement cuttings, nursery work, seeding and
planting.
The importance of lumbering as a part of the curriculum
was recognized by the National Lumber Manufacturers’ Asso-
ciation at their annual meeting in 1905, and they voted to
raise a fund to endow a chair of lumbering. Sixty thousand
dollars was immediately pledged, and in the autumn turned
over to the treasurer of the University, and in 1910 an additional
forty thousand dollars was received. This fund has been of
great value to the School as it made possible the appointment
of R. C. Bryant of the Forest Service to take charge of the
work in lumbering. Mr. Bryant began his work in September,
1906.
During the year an Advisory Board was appointed from the
graduates and proved very important in furthering the interests
of the School and bringing the alumni into closer touch with
its activities. The members of the first Advisory Board were
G. H. Myers, M.F. ’o2, J. G. Peters, M.F. ’03, and W. B.
Greeley, M.F. ’o4.
1906-1907
The year 1906 marked a long step forward in improving the
curriculum. This was made possible through the addition to
22 YALE FOREST SCHOOL
the Faculty of three instructors in forestry, namely Messrs.
Chapman, Bryant and Hawley, each of whom was given a
definite line of work which they have been pursuing and
strengthening up to the present time. This marks a definite
stage in the development of the curriculum because it is the
beginning of the separation of the work into specific courses
continuously handled by the same instructors. It gave an oppor-
tunity for the courses to develop and expand with succeeding
years. Hitherto the lack of funds and available instructors of
experience prevented the development of a Faculty adequate
for the constantly increasing work of the School. The work
of instruction as then organized was conducted by three groups
of men: first, the regular Faculty, consisting of five resident
members whose time was wholly given to the School and who
conducted the technical courses in forestry; second, members
of other departments of the University who gave specially
arranged courses in auxiliary subjects; third, non-resident,
special lecturers.
An important feature of the year was the development of the
course in lumbering under Mr. Bryant. The work was organ-
ized with the advice of a committee from the National Lumber
Manufacturers’ Association. This advisory committee consisted
of Nelson W. McLeod and Clifford I. Millard of St. Louis and
Frederick E. Weyerhaeuser of St. Paul. The lectures in this
subject were given by Mr. Bryant assisted by the members of
the committee as special lecturers. Through the generosity of
J. B. White the plant of the Missouri Lumber & Mining Com-
pany in southern Missouri was placed at the disposal of the
School for the spring work of the Senior class. The work in
the woods was conducted by Mr. Chapman, who was assisted
in the topographic work by Henry Gannett of the United States
Geological Survey. Mr. Bryant had charge of the work relating
directly to lumbering. This proved so successful that the field
work of the Senior class has since followed the same general
plan.
1907-1908
The increased demand for foresters by the National govern-
ment, by states, and by private owners of woodland, resulted
in the rapid development of facilities for instruction. As early
AN HISTORICAL SKETCH 23
as 1907 seventeen institutions in the United States and Canada
were offering instruction in forestry and five institutions had
fully organized departments or schools for high-grade training.
The standard required for the profession of forestry was becom-
ing higher each year and already many of the graduates of
minor schools found it difficult to find remunerative positions.
Six classes had now graduated with a total enrollment of
127. This does not include 37 men who did not take the full
course. The occupations of the 127 graduates of the first six
classes, in July, 1907, is shown in the following table:

Hitherto there had been but one program of study prescribed
for all students. All subjects in the regular course were required
for the degree. A greater number of students were each year
applying for admittance with advanced standing, having already
had courses in technical forestry in other institutions. To supply
this demand a number of advanced courses in forest technology,
silviculture, lumbering and forest management were offered for
the first time.
The spring work of the Senior class was conducted in Ala-
bama on a tract of virgin forest owned by the Kaul Lumber
Company. Hitherto nearly all the field work at New Haven
was at Maltby Park, a comparatively small portion of the lands
owned by the New Haven Water Company. During this year
Mr. Hawley was employed as consulting forester for the com-
pany. Under this arrangement the School obtained the privilege
of conducting field work on all the lands owned by the company,
aggregating eight thousand acres, of which more than one-half
is covered with forest, under an organized system of manage-
ment. The open land is gradually being planted. This large
tract of permanent forest near New Haven and within easy
24 YALE FOREST SCHOOL
reach of the School is yearly becoming of greater importance
for purposes of instruction.
With the decrease in the number of special lectures in the
regular course, the Forest Club has been the avenue through
which foresters and other scientific men visiting New Haven
have been introduced to the School.
At the close of the work of the Senior class at New Haven
in February, 1908, formal exercises were held for the first time.
The principal address was by Gifford Pinchot. Other speakers
were President Hadley, the Director of the School, W. B.
Greeley and H. R. MacMillan, the latter representing the grad-
uating class. These exercises continue to be held each year at
New Haven before the Senior class leaves for the South.
1908-1909
In 1908 R. C. Bryant and R. C. Hawley were promoted to
the rank of assistant professors. It was becoming more and
more apparent, in order to meet the needs of technical instruc-
tion, that it would be necessary to lengthen the course to three
years or else increase the requirements for admission. The
latter course was followed. Early in the year a circular was
issued announcing that candidates for admission for the degree
Master of Forestry, in addition to completing an undergraduate
college course, must have pursued certain specified subjects.
The new requirements did not go into effect for two years in
order that undergraduates then preparing for the School could
arrange to cover the required work. Arrangements had been
made with the Sheffield Scientific School whereby students in
that institution, by taking certain studies in the Forest School
during the last year of their undergraduate course, could com-
plete the work at the Forest School in one year. With the grad-
ual extension of the curriculum and the increase in the number
of required subjects, this arrangement became more and more
difficult. Through action of the Governing Board the old
arrangement was discontinued, to go into effect at the opening
of the school year 1910.
The field work of the Senior class was conducted at Doucette,
Tyler County, Texas, on the lands of the Thompson Brothers
Lumber Company. The New Haven Water Company began
AN HISTORICAL SKETCH 25
the extensive planting of waste areas. Nurseries were estab-
lished and plans made to reforest by planting during the next
decade from 1,500 to 2,000 acres of open land. The work on
the forested areas was progressing rapidly and already there
were many instructive illustrations of the results of applied
forestry.
1909-1910
The tenth class to enroll at the School entered in July, 1909.
There had been a gradual increase in attendance since the
organization of the School. From seven students in 1900 the
number had increased in 1909 to thirty-seven in the Senior class
and forty-five in the Junior, not including five enrolled for the
summer term only. In addition to the regular students fifteen
were enrolled in the short course and twelve from other
departments of the University.
This year marked the discontinuance of the summer school.
The rapid development of secondary forest schools and depart-
ments of forestry in various institutions lessened somewhat the
demand for this course. Furthermore the large increase in the
number of students in the regular course made it difficult to
provide instructors from among the members of the Faculty.
During the existence of the summer school there were enrolled
a total of 159 students or a yearly average of 18.
S. J. Record was appointed instructor in forestry early in the
year and W. O. Filley field assistant. In January the School
suffered a distinct loss in the indefinite leave of absence granted
the director on his appointment by President Taft to the posi-
tion of Forester of the United States Forest Service. Mr.
Toumey became acting director. The Senior field work was
conducted at Clarks, La., on the property of the Central
Louisiana Lumber Company.
The large increase in attendance called for more space for
laboratories and lecture rooms. Marsh Hall was overcrowded,
making it necessary to duplicate certain courses. As there was
no prospect of a new building suitable for the needs of the
School, the timber testing laboratory, only used for a few months
each year, was dismantled to make space for more imperative
needs.
26 YALE FOREST SCHOOL
Early in the year Mrs. Morris K. Jesup of New York gave
an endowment of $100,000 for a professorship of silviculture,
and Mr. Toumey was appointed the Morris K. Jesup professor
of silviculture.
IQIO-I9QII
At the opening of the summer term in I910 it became apparent
that an increasing number of men were being drawn from other
institutions where forestry was taught. During the year five
graduates in forestry from other schools were in attendance.
Twenty-six states and foreign countries were represented in the
student body, which was the same as in the previous year. No
change inthe distribution of the student body, due to the rapid
development of forest schools and departments of forestry else-
where in the country, was apparent. With the beginning of the
year the curriculum was rearranged and all the courses became
technical in character. The following changes were made in the
teaching staff: Messrs. Chapman and Bryant were made full
professors, S. J. Record was promoted to be assistant professor
and W. O. Filley resigned and accepted the position of assistant
forester of Connecticut.
The Senior field work was conducted at Trinity, Texas. The
unusually large class made it necessary to employ two temporary
field assistants, C. A. Hoar, M.F. ’10, and Harold Fay, M.F. ‘to.
Nearly three years previous the task of increasing the
resources of the School by five hundred thousand dollars was
undertaken. The large increase in the number of students made
the need of a new building almost imperative. Money was
needed for salary increases and for experimental work and pub-
lications. At the close of the year the total receipts toward this
fund were two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. At the end
of the year forty-three men completed the course and received
the degree Master of Forestry. This is the largest number that
received the degree in a single year since the organization of the
School.
IQII-I912 .
For the past two years the requirements for admission were
given considerable attention. . In the curriculum as first formed
there were many botanical, zodlogical and other courses which
SVX4], ‘ALININT, LV 1161 AO SSVIQ AH] : HLNOG AHL NI NYOM ATA YAOINAS
AN HISTORICAL SKETCH 27
in their scope paralleled the undergraduate work in colleges and
universities. These subjects were deemed necessary because
most applicants were poorly prepared in them, and it appeared
advisable to incorporate them in the requirements for admission.
The applicant must now hold a degree from a high-grade uni-
versity, college or technical school and in addition present evi-
dence that he has taken at least one full year in college or
university botany, including general morphology, histology and
physiology of plants; at least one college course in zoology,
physics, inorganic chemistry, geology, economics, mechanical
drawing, the completion of mathematics through trigonometry,
and has a reading knowledge of French or German.
The effect of this was apparent in the class that entered under
the new requirements in 1911. It resulted in a marked advance
in scholarship due to a more thorough preparation in the sci-
ences which are a foundation for forestry. In most respects
the first year’s operation of the new schedule was highly satis-
factory. The elimination of general science and most of the
special lecture courses gave the much needed opportunity to
increase the technical work. The requirements in both silvi-
culture and management were nearly doubled. There was a
sharp falling off in attendance, but to what extent it was due
to this change is not known. It is believed to have been partly
due to the rapid increase in the number of schools. The
attendance for the year was sixty, a decrease of forty-two from
that of the previous year. This made no appreciable difference
in the wide distribution of the students, as the sixty men enrolled
were from twenty-five states.
The revised schedule, calling for additional field work in
silviculture, made it necessary for the Junior class to spend two
weeks of the spring term in the Adirondack Mountains. As in
previous years the Senior field work was conducted in the South.
The Crossett Lumber Company, Crossett, Ark., granted the use
of their property for this work.
The curriculum at this time offered instruction in thirty-six
courses in forestry subjects, all of a technical nature. They
varied in length from one to three terms with the exception
of two short courses on special subjects by outside lecturers.
It was apparent that the work could not be materially extended,
28 YALE FOREST SCHOOL
without putting too great a burden on the students, unless some
of the courses offered were elective. It was believed to be impos-
sible to omit any of the required courses and still provide an
all-round training in technical forestry.
Because of the continued absence of Mr. Graves his resigna-
tion as director was accepted and Mr. Toumey, who had served
as acting director for two years, was made director. Mr. Graves
retained his position as a member of the Governing Board
and of the Faculty, with leave extended for another year.
Arrangements were completed whereby Mr. Record, beginning
with the year 1912-13, would carry the work in technology for-
merly given by Mr. Dean and the course on the classification and
structure of wood formerly given by A. H. Graves.
For the first time since the organization of the School the
library was placed in charge of a trained librarian, Miss I. M.
Tisdale, formerly on the staff of the University Library. The
library had grown to such proportions that this was necessary
in order to properly catalogue and put it in form for ready
reference and greater usefulness.
The publication of a series of bulletins, memoirs and mis-
cellaneous works relating to the School was begun. This was
of vast importance as it gave the School a wider field of use-
fulness and brought it in closer touch with the alumni and the
general public.
A graduate Advisory Board had been elected in 1905 in order
to bring the School into closer relations with the alumni. At
first it had consisted of but three members, but was later enlarged
to five, and has been of continually increasing usefulness. Dur-
ing this year the School was brought into closer relations with
the alumni through the organization of the alumni association
with officers and class secretaries. This association met at New
Haven on December 20 and 21, 1911, and the following officers
were elected for five years:
President, W. B. Greeley, M.F. ’o4.
Vice-president, T. S. Woolsey, Jr., M.F. ’o3.
Secretary and treasurer, H. H. Chapman, M.F. ’o4.
This association not only afforded an opportunity for the
organization of the alumni into an effective body and familiar-
ized them with the progress of the School, but it served as a
AN HISTORICAL SKETCH 29
stimulus to permanently establish a graduates’ fund. The sub-
scriptions to this fund during the first meeting of the associa-
tion were more than four thousand dollars. A gift of one
thousand dollars was received from William Wheeler of Buffalo,
N. Y., the income to be given yearly as a prize for meritorious
work in silviculture.
The first number of the series of bulletins and memoirs pub-
lished by the School was issued in February, 1912. This is “A
Classification for Forestry Literature” and is the classification
used in the School library. In February, 1912, the report of
the alumni reunion was published and distributed. Two impor-
tant manuals dealing with forestry subjects were published by
members of the Faculty during the year, namely: “Forestry in
New England” by Mr. Hawley, in collaboration with Mr.
Hawes, State Forester of Vermont, and “Identification of the
Economic Woods of the United States” by Mr. Record.
A conference of American Forest Schools was called in
December, 1909, to consider the aim, scope, grade and length
of curriculum as the first step in the standardization of forestry
education. At this conference a committee was appointed to
draw up a plan for the standardization of the requirements for
technical training in forestry. Director Graves was appointed
chairman; other members of the committee were B. E. Fernow,
R. T. Fisher, Filibert Roth and Gifford Pinchot. A second
conference was called in December, 1911. Nearly all American
institutions offering instruction in forestry were represented.
The plan of the committee was discussed in detail and it was
agreed to publish the report in the Forestry Quarterly. The
committee was continued, and on the resignation of the chair-
man his place was taken by Mr. Toumey. The report of the
committee was published in Volume X, Number 3, of the For-
estry Quarterly, and widely distributed. The importance of
this report, its influence on forestry education in America, and
the part taken in it by the Yale Forest School, calls for its
recognition in this historical sketch.
1912-1913
The total number of students enrolled during the year was
fifty. It became still more evident that the marked falling off
30 YALE FOREST SCHOOL
in attendance, first noticeable in the previous year’s class and
still more conspicuous in the enrollment for the year 1912-13,
was due to two fundamental causes: first, the continued increase
in the facilities for forestry education in the United States; .
second, the keener competition for profitable employment after
graduation. To what extent these conditions will affect future
attendance at the school it is uncertain. Future classes are likely
to be smaller and to include a constantly increasing number of
students from other schools who come to Yale to complete their
technical training.
Shortly after the organization of the alumni association in
December, 1911, a movement was set on foot to publish a quar-
terly to be known as the Yale Forest School News. The grad-
uate Advisory Board undertook the financing and management
of the proposed publication. The first number of this new
quarterly appeared in January, 1913, with the following officers
in charge:
Editor, W. B. Greeley, M.F. ’o4.
Alumni notes, H. H. Chapman, M.F. ’o4.
Managing editor, S. J. Record, M.F. ’o5.
The Yale Forest School News was well received from the first.
It serves a much needed purpose as a medium for communication
between the alumni and the officers of instruction.
Bulletin 2, “Prolonging the Cut of Southern Pine,” by
Messrs. Chapman and Bryant, was published in February, 1913.
The field work of the Senior class was conducted at Warren,
Ark., and the spring field work of the Junior class in the
Adirondack Mountains.
In June, 1913, six hundred and twenty-five acres of land at
Keene, N. H., were presented to the School by George H. Myers,
M.F. ’o2, as the nucleus for a School forest.
OUTLOOK FOR THE FUTURE
This historical sketch of the development of the Yale Forest
School from its organization until the close of the school year
in June, 1913, would not be complete without a brief statement
relating to its outlook for the future. As stated in the address
OE
AN HISTORICAL SKETCH 31
of the director before the alumni in December, 1911, the future
development of the School must be along the following lines:
a. In adding to the efficiency of the present courses;
b. In establishing elective courses in the Senior year;
c. In increasing our facilities for research and advanced work.
The need of the first of these is always present because no
course is so complete that it does not require constant atten-
tion on the part of the instructor in order to keep it abreast of
the times and effective from an educational standpoint.
As regards the second, it is believed that the time is already
at hand when elective courses should be considered. Because
of the large amount of required work it is not possible to add
many optional courses, such as the course on park and street
trees offered for the first time in 1911, and four proposed
optional courses to be given for the first time in 1913-14. Addi-
‘tional courses must be largely elective in the Senior year,
substituted for some of those required at the present time.
Forestry is a very broad and diversified subject. The training
required for work in one particular branch may be quite dif-
ferent from that required in another. Thus a man who devotes
himself to the reproduction, development and growth of timber
should specialize in silviculture and management, while one
whose chief attention is given to utilization should specialize
in lumbering and technology.
Regarding the third, it is useless to offer advanced work
unless there are students prepared to take it. In general, such
work is only open to those who have already completed the
regular course or what is deemed equivalent in other institutions.
Fellowships are needed to stimulate advanced work and to
induce able men to come to Yale and continue along some
particular line in forestry.
With the expanded work of the school it is possible that the
best interests of the profession can be served by opening certain
courses to men with woods experience who are not college or
university graduates, but who desire to enter the School as
special students in order to secure instruction along some
particular line.

_From this table it appears that the increase in annual income
is from both tuition and endowment. With our student body
approximately the same in numbers as now, our present endow-
ment will carry the work of the School as now conducted and
provide for minor extensions, particularly in the direction of
publications. It will not, however, entirely provide for neces-
sary increases in the salaries of the younger members of the
Faculty which must, be met in the immediate future, or for the
extension of the curriculum and the advancement of the School
along the various lines already begun or that have been
suggested.
With the smaller classes of the past two years Marsh Hall
as now arranged provides, sufficient space for necessary lecture
rooms, but laboratory facilities are insufficient, the library is
overcrowded and there is no space for the display of collections.
The work accomplished by the School is expressed in the
biographical records of her alumni which appear in this volume.
These records clearly show to what extent Yale men are
identified with and are responsible for the development of
forestry in America.

Residence, Champaign, III.
Alfred Knight Chittenden was born October 28, 1870, in New Haven,
Conn., the son of Professor Russell Henry Chittenden, Ph.D., Sc.D.,
LL.D., Yale ’75S., director of the Sheffield Scientific School, and Ger-
trude Louise (Baldwin) Chittenden. He has two sisters, Edith Russell
Chittenden, B.A. Smith ’99, and Lilla Millard (Chittenden) Barbour,
wife of Henry Gray Barbour, B.A. Trinity ’06, M.D. Johns Hopkins
*I0, who was appointed assistant professor of pharmacology in the Yale
Medical School in 1912.
He was prepared at the Hopkins Grammar School of New Haven
and graduated from the Sheffield Scientific School in 1900. In the
Scientific School he took the Civil Engineer Course, received general
scholastic honors, and was a member of the scholarship society, Sigma
Xi.
He was married February 11, 1908, in Washington, D. C., to Miss
Lulu W. Brower of Washington.
Chittenden is director of the engineering experiment station
and lecturer on timber and timber resources at the College of
Engineering of the University of Illinois. After graduation
from the Forest School he went abroad for seven months to
study forest conditions in Germany, Austria, Switzerland,
France and England. On returning to the United States he
entered the United States Forest Service and has since worked
in nearly every state in the Union, serving successively as forest
assistant, chief of the section of codperation, assistant district
forester and forest inspector. For a year, in 1907, he was in
private business in Baltimore, doing consulting forestry work
under the firm name of Chittenden & Patterson. On September
20, 1911, he was appointed forester in the United States Indian
Service with headquarters in Washington, D. C. This position
he held until receiving his present appointment.
He writes: “The Indian Service has a well developed Forest
Service which is handling all timber matters on the Indian
Reservations. There are thirty-one saw mills on the reserva-
tions operated for the benefit of the Indians by the Government.
These mills vary in size from small portable mills to the large
mill, with a daily capacity of over 200,000 feet, on the Menominee
Indian Reservation in Wisconsin.
38 YALE FOREST SCHOOL
“The total area of Indian timber lands is roughly estimated at
6,500,000 acres, containing approximately 38,000,000,000 feet of
timber, and valued at over $84,000,000. In order to protect and
properly administer these resources a considerable force of men
is employed, consisting of forest guards, rangers, scalers, lum-
bermen and technically trained foresters. The work is in many
respects similar to that of the Forest Service, except that no
purely investigative work is carried on and that where it seems
advisable timber is logged, handled and manufactured by the
Service, the lumber being sold or disposed of for the benefit of
the Indians. A considerable amount of permanent improvement
work is being carried on, roads, trails, telephone lines, cabins,
corrals and fences being constructed. The Indian timber lands,
unlike the National Forests, were not set aside for protective
purposes, but for the use and benefit of the Indians. Much of
the timber is located on good agricultural soil, some of which
is allotted. In such cases clear cutting is practised, all the timber
being cut and removed, and the Indians encouraged to farm
this land. On the really forest soil, however, forestry methods
are followed in logging.”
He has published: Forest conditions in Northern New
Hampshire, Bull. 55, U. S. Forest Service; The red gum, Bull.

also, as far as limited funds permitted, have carried on experi-
mental work in the introduction into and trial in Hawaii of trees
of economic importance ‘new to the islands. Outside of my
regular work I have been interested in the establishment of the

appointed professor of forestry at the State College of Wash-
ington, Pullman, Wash., which position he now holds.
He writes: “The chief business event of my life since leay-
ing Yale was the purchase of a thousand-acre farm in Kansas
in 1905. With but $80 cash in my pocket I obligated myself
to pay $13,000 in seven years’ time at six and a half per cent.
interest. I always have had the greatest possible faith in agri-
cultural land as a safe investment, particularly in a country with
such agricultural resources as Kansas. Before my mortgage
fell due, I was able to pay it off in full, by selling land at an
advance in price and by saving from my salary. To-day I own
1,053 acres of Kansas land free from debt, worth at the lowest
market price $35,000. I would not part with the land for
$50,000. Faith in Kansas and ‘nerve’ have enabled me to be
the owner of one of the finest stock farms in the United States,
where I propose to spend my declining years practicing ‘farm
forestry,’ plant breeding and stock raising. I hope to teach
a few years longer, then retire to my farm to practice what I
have taught.”
Clothier is a member of the Presbyterian church. Of his
political ideas he writes: “Was a Republican till high tariff
and legislation promoting trusts drove me first to the Democratic
party, then to the People’s party, then again to the Democratic
party under Bryan, and now to the Progressive party under
Roosevelt.” He was elected to the office of superintendent
of public instruction in Wabaun, Kans., by the Populists and

He was prepared at St. Mark’s School at Southboro, Mass., the Pomfret

Yale in 1901. While there he was on the editorial board of the Yale
Daily News and was a member of Alpha Delta Phi.
He was married March 15, 1908, in Albuquerque, N. Mex., to Miss Ruby
Hilsman Pickett of Dawson, Ga., daughter of Thomas Hamilton Pickett, a
lawyer and soldier. Mrs. Pickett’s maiden name was Davenport. They
have four daughters: Elizabeth Davenport Woolsey, born December 25,

1910, in Albuquerque; Edith Woolsey, born April 25, 1912, in Lausanne,
Switzerland; and Sarah Woolsey, born April 26, 1913, in Paris, France.
Woolsey is an assistant district forester in District 3 with
headquarters at Albuquerque, N. Mex. He was appointed to
this position in October, 1908. Previous to this he had held
successively the positions of assistant forest expert, forest assist-
ant and forest inspector, being appointed to the last on May
15, 1907. During March and April of 1911 he was acting chief

forestry in Germany, France and India and is at present on leave
of absence, studying in Austria and France. He is a member of '
the Graduate Advisory Board of the Yale Forest School.

He writes: “The windy, sun baked hills in the neighborhood
of Marseille (where not denuded) are covered with pin dalep
which during the summer and winter months must exist almost
entirely without rain. Even at Grésque at an elevation of 350
meters the rainfall is but 691 millimeters during an average year.
Add to the summer droughts a temperature of 25° to 37°
centigrade and the vegetative conditions become intolerable.
The fellings consequently are light and rarely remove more
than 25 per cent. of the volume. The selection system is
employed because in the words of the inspector: ‘We are afraid
of the regular shelterwood fellings because after the parent
trees are removed the young crop is exposed to the full force
of the wind and drought. To avoid heavy losses during the
periodic droughts we employ light selection fellings: if once
the ground becomes denuded artificial restocking is a difficult
undertaking.’
“And no wonder it is difficult! In the Commune of Marseille
(Serie de reboisement de la Gordiale), the government has pur-
chased some 800 hectares of denuded calcareous hills as a
demonstration forest and to temper, if possible, the climate, of
Marseille by surrounding it with forests. Here a local nursery
has been established and systematic reforestation is in progress.
It has taken years of study to determine the best methods.
“They sow the pin d’alep in seed spots where the conditions
are not too unfavorable and use ball plants (pot method) where
seeding results or would result in failures. The sowing and
planting is in the fall just before or during the rains. Spring
sowing is equally successful until the summer drought starts
but during this period the losses are enormous. The seed spots
are carefully cultivated and cleared of stones and rocks. The
size varies somewhat but on poor ground the spots are .80 by
.60 meters and 30 to 35 centimeters deep. They cost from 6
to 12 cents each, and are irregularly spaced 3 to 4 meters apart
by a rough quincieux system. When the soil is ready for the
seed the surface is 2 to 5 inches below the ground level. This
depression collects the water a little during the rains and pro-
tects the seedlings against the wind. Perhaps 60 seeds (a small
handful) are sown in each spot and are raked into the soil
to a depth of 1 to 1% centimeters. As soon as the sowing is
NON GRADUATES CLASS OF 1903 63
complete a uniform cover of brush is placed on the seed spot
and is held down by a good-sized rock. The success of this
method is phenomenal. Its chief features are: large well-
worked seed spot; heavy sowing to discount certain loss of at
least 50 to 90 per cent. of the seedlings which germinate; the
brush cover; sowing before or during the rains.
“The same seed spots are prepared for planting and the pin
dalep, after one year in the seed bed and one year in the terra
cotta pot, is ball planted after the pot is removed. When the
ground is moist the ball of earth around the roots (often caked
hard) is loosened to give the roots a better chance. This method
is SO expensive it is only used where absolutely necessary.”
He is an Episcopalian. He is a Mason, a member of the

He writes: “Had charge of the provinces of Batanzas,
Tayabas, Albay, Sorsogon, Camarines Norte, Camarines Sur
and the little-known island of Mindoro in the Philippines and
did considerable exploring and mapping during the three years
spent there. Saw something of Japan and took the opportunity
to travel by land from Nagasaki to Kobe. Upon returning to
the United States spent nearly two years in different parts of
Arizona, but found government service there distasteful and
for the most part poorly paid. Have been in the oil business in
California for nearly three years, starting as a ‘roustabout’ and
having held about every position up to superintendent. The
work is interesting, out-of-doors, mostly mechanical and in very
congenial surroundings.”

been called by many cities to organize tree commissions for
them, lecture and start them in their work on the care and
planting of trees.
He writes: “My chief interest during the past six years has
centered around the city tree problem of the country. Seven
years ago I saw the need of championing forestry among the
city dwellers and to put the tree problems of our parks on a
scientific footing. It’ was all in the hands of untrained men.
Brooklyn and Queens Park departments offered the opportunity
for demonstrating the possibilities of such work and from that
very moment I had to fight against all sorts of odds to introduce
new methods and get scientific tree care recognized. We are
still spending nearly $4,000,000 annually on parks in New York
‘City and only a very small fraction of this goes to tree work.
But now we are getting more and more interest in the trees
and the people are fast becoming educated to it. It had to
be done by systematic and constant effort in writing, lecturing,
talking from the platform, defying politicians, etc. I traveled
to other cities and did the same there and now we have many
cities awake to it. I am now especially interested in seeing
municipal forests established in cities and to have these displace
the common, conventional and extremely expensive formal
park.”

of 1904 I worked in West Virginia making a working plan
under Ralph Hawley for the U. S. Coal & Coke Company,
approximately 60,000 acres. Passed civil service exams in 1905
and was assigned to the Leadville Forest in Colorado. For
three months I worked as ranger, forest assistant and somewhat
in the capacity of supervisor. The organization at that time
had not crystallized and one man had charge of the Pike, Lead-
ville and Holy Cross forests from Denver. In September, 1905,
I was placed in charge of the Holy Cross Forest as acting
supervisor to establish the administration and get things going.
This forest was the center of bitter opposition to the Service
and it was here that the famous Fred Light case first came up.
After getting things under way I was sent to the San Juan
and Montezuma with headquarters at Durango to get the admin-
istration under way. These forests included together about
3,000,000 acres, and when I arrived in early January, 1906,

nothing had been done. I stayed until April and was then sent
to Montana with Mr. E. A. Sherman. I stayed two weeks and
was called to Washington to serve in the capacity of district
forester for District 1. This under the old scheme was in no
_ way similar to the present position. It was an assignment to
handle general omnibus letters for signature of Washington
office administration officers. Left Washington as assistant
forest inspector and went to New Mexico to look over the
Portales with the result of eliminating the entire forest. Came
back to Montana in the spring of 1907 as forest inspector and
put the administration on the newly created cabinet. With
Redington, Class of 1904, worked up the plan of re-districting
the forests in Montana and Idaho. From 1907 to December 1,
1908, was a general inspection officer. With the creation of the
district office at Missoula for District 1, I was appointed assistant
district forester, which title was changed later to associate
district forester upon district forester W. B. Greeley being
- called into Washington as assistant forester. I was made
district forester July 1, 1911, which position I now hold.”

Arthur Bernhard Recknagel was born December 15, 1883, in Brooklyn,
N. Y., the son of John Hermann Recknagel, a commission merchant and
president of the American Spice Trade Association, and Marie (Wester-

Yale ’98 and LL.B. Columbia ’o1; and two sisters: Viola Recknagel
and Friede Recknagel. ’
He was prepared at Bedford Military Academy, Great Neck, L. I., and
Adelphi Academy, Brooklyn, N. Y., and in 1904 graduated from Yale
College, where he was a member of Sigma Xi and of the Orations Base-
ball team and was the recipient of the Scott Prize in German.
‘He was married August 25, 19090, in Albuquerque, N. Mex., to Miss
Mary Thomas Miller of Harrisonburg, Va., daughter of Lewis Caperton
Miller and Ada (Pilson) Miller. They have one son, Bernhard Wester-
mann Recknagel, born June 11, 1912, in Dresden, Germany.
Recknagel is professor of forestry in the New York State
College of Agriculture at Cornell University, Ithaca, N. Y.,
where he teaches forest management, forest utilization and wood
technology. He has held this position since February 1, 1913.
He writes: “On entering the Forest Service as forest assistant
in 1906 my first assignment was to Santa Fé, N. Mex., where
I was engaged in timber sale examinations on the Jemez, Carson
and Pecos National forests. Transferred in November to the
Beaver National Forest, Utah, for similar work, and again to
the Coconino National Forest, Flagstaff, Ariz., in December,
where I remained on growth studies (western yellow pine),
marking and estimates until the end of June, 1907, when I was
ordered in to Washington for timber sale detail. In September
and again in December I was in Georgia on congressional tours
and in Tennessee on a woodlot examination. In January I was
made acting chief of the reorganized section of reconnaissance,
office of management. This appointment was confirmed in Feb-
ruary and in April I started on a four months’ trip to organize
132 YALE FOREST SCHOOL
the new field work. This trip carried me to New Mexico, Colo-
rado, Utah, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho and Washington. I
returned to Washington, D. C., over the Canadian Pacific from
Vancouver to Montreal. During August I was in Alabama
on congressional tours and also conferred with the governors of ©
Alabama and of Georgia as to Service codperation with these
states. In December I left Washington to take up my duties
in District 3 as assistant chief of silviculture, remaining there
for nearly three years or until October, 1911, when I sailed for
Europe on a year’s leave of absence to study forest conditions
abroad.
“The fall semester I enrolled at the Forst Akademie at Ebers-
walde, near Berlin, then I traveled through Germany, France,
Switzerland and Austria. I became especially interested in
the management: i. e., in the working plan practice of the
various countries, and, on settling at Dresden for some months,
specialized on this subject, having the Forst Akademie at
Tharandt conveniently near. |
“Again and again it has been brought home to me that the
experiences we are making and the stages through which we
are passing are nothing new but merely the inexorable repeti-
tion of history modified by changed economic conditions. But
great as has been the progress made by European nations in
the science of forestry, it has not resulted in stagnation. New
ideas and improvements on old methods are constantly being
introduced and all this makes for progress towards the ideal
forestry which is, apparently, as far removed from realization
in Europe as it is in America.
“This progress of present day forestry in Europe is best
exemplified, it seems to me, by the turning away from pure
stands and artificial regeneration toward mixed stands and natural
regeneration. Throughout Prussia the beech is being coaxed
back among the Scotch pine stands. Saxony, where spruce
was raised in pure stands for successive generations, has realized
that this repetition of the same crop, however profitable, soon
exhausts the soil.
“Another striking example of this progress is Professor
Wagner’s ‘Blendersaumschlag’ or Border Cuttings, whereby
he regenerates naturally under shelter working from the northern
EL —-_- --- —_-- eel rr

side, where is the maximum of sun and wind protection, towards
the southern side of the stand.
“In methods of artificial regeneration what struck me par-
ticularly is the abandoning of the many complex planting instru-
ments in favor of that simplest of all tools, the mattock. No
more jamming of the seedling into the earth with crumpled,
often injured root system, but a ‘natural,’ normal planting by
hand in a mattock-made hole.
“Finally I must mention the tendency away from large cut-
ting areas with their attendant increased dangers of fire, drought,
insects, fungi, wind, etc., towards smaller cutting areas and more
of them: more points of attack as initial points in a well-planned
cutting series progressing against the prevailing wind direction.”

During the summer of 1906 Judd returned to Honolulu after —
a five years’ absence. He worked for the Board of Commis-
sioners of Agriculture and Forestry of the Territory of Hawaii
for seven weeks in Honolulu and on the island of Kauai, taking
measurements of growth and volume in six hundred acres of
planted forest trees. He writes: “Immediately upon graduation
from the School I entered the Forest Service as forest assistant
in management and started west with my assistant chief, stop-
ping off at the Medicine Bow Forest, Wyoming. In California
we visited the Diamond Mountain and Plumas forests, attended
the Irrigation Congress at Sacramento, and visited the Shasta
Forest. I was then stationed on the Diamond Mountain from
September, 1907, to April, 1908, where I was engaged in the
administration of two large timber sales, marking western yellow
pine for cutting, and scaling logs. I also surveyed ranger stations
and claims and, after the snow came, drew maps in the super-
visor’s office. In April, 1908, I was called into the Washington
office, where during a long hot summer I became thoroughly
imbued with the timber sale policy and procedure of the Forest
Service. At the time of the redistricting in December, 1908, I
was promoted and assigned to the district office at Portland,
Ore., as assistant chief of silviculture. During the summer of
1909 I inspected the Snoqualmie National Forest, Washington,
covering a large area of forested mountains in the Cascades east
of Seattle. In thirty days I traveled on foot 340 miles, visiting
all of the operations on the forest and often alone, but more

often with a ranger, slept out under a giant hemlock or huge
Douglas fir overnight and lived for the most part on trout and
wild blackberries. In October, 1909, I went to Los Angeles
with my mother and was best man at the wedding of my
brother Henry. In December of the same year I estimated
timber on snowshoes on the Whitman Forest in eastern Oregon.
In the spring of 1910 I inspected timber sales and seed sowing
operations on the Oregon National Forest near Mt. Hood.
“In May, 1910, I went east to New Haven, Conn., where I
was married on June 11. On the honeymoon trip west we
stopped off at Salem, Ohio, and Cashmere, Wash., visiting
relatives, before returning to Portland. During August, 1910,
while the forest fires were at their worst, visited most of the
National forests in Washington in a seed collecting campaign.
In the fall of the same year inspected seed sowing operations
on the Olympic, Columbia, and Oregon forests. In February,
1911, lectured on timber sales at the Ranger School of the
University of Washington at Seattle. While inspecting timber
sales on the Colville Forest in northeastern Washington in June,
I9II, received the offer of a position in Honolulu from the Gov-
ernor of Hawaii. On July 25, 1911, entered upon the duties of
commissioner of public lands and president and executive officer
of the Board of Commissioners of Agriculture and Forestry,
Territory of Hawaii.
“During September, 1911, made the circuit of the Island of
Hawaii on an official automobile trip with the Governor and
Attorney General of the Territory and on the way back to
Honolulu stopped off for some goat hunting on the almost
uninhabited desert island of Kahoolawe. As president of the
Board of Agriculture and Forestry, began a campaign for the
' control of a serious infestation of the Mediterranean fruit fly
and was instrumental in passing a dog quarantine regulation
to prevent rabies from getting to the Islands.
“Returned to Portland, Ore., during March, 1912, and
resumed duties with the Forest Service as assistant district
forester, District 6.”
He was a messenger in the Citizens’ Guard of Hawaii during
the revolution of 1905 and a trooper in the Mounted Reserves,

engineer with the Saginaw Timber Company.
He writes: “My work here has grown entirely apart from
forestry as a profession in itself. It is rather logging engineer-
ing in its broader sense; going on the theory that after all is
said and done logging is a problem of transportation primarily.
In this country of large timber our operations have developed
tine
ee ee ee ee ee
GRADUATES CLASS OF 1907 165
on such a large scale that the larger companies have found
pressing need for a systematization of methods and accounting.
A technically trained man working from a basis of thorough
understanding of present methods and conditions is preéminently
the man for this work. It takes years of hard preparatory work
under actual logging conditions to fit a man for such a position,
but the future promises great things for the man who will
persevere until he is a recognized authority on scientific logging.
And it is the forester working from the inside, with a full
knowledge of actual conditions who can best say to what extent
forestry may be practiced by the logger. Briefly, these are the
lines upon which I am working and by which I hope to show
that there is a field for the technical man in private work.”
He is a member of the Methodist church and in politics is a

born in Canterbury, England, in 1806, who were married in Halifax,
N. S., Canada, in 1831. His mother’s foster parents were Sophronia
Elizabeth Atkins and Caleb Upham Atkins.
He was prepared at the Forster Grammar School, Somerville, Mass.,

He writes: “Porto Rico presents unusual interest for the
forester just now, for, unless all signs fail, both the Forest
Service and the Government of Porto Rico will soon need one
or more trained foresters to direct the forestry operations which
each seems destined to institute in the near future. Conditions
in Porto Rico are ripe for the practice of intensive forestry
from the start. Formerly well timbered, the Island is now only
sparsely wooded. Not only have its inhabitants,—now number-
ing 1,116,000 or 325 persons per square mile,—drawn freely
upon this resource in the past, and even destroyed it to make
way for agriculture and cattle raising, but considerable timber
has also been exported.
“A dense population, geographic isolation, short hauling dis-
tances, a productive soil, a year round growing season, and an
abundant native tree flora, not to mention exotics, constitute
the materials at hand. The forest fire menace is negligible and
frosts are unknown, although excessive precipitation, the trade-
winds, and an occasional hurricane will have to be given con-
sideration. The production of cabinet woods for export will
have no place in Porto Rican forestry, since local consumption
will take care of all that the lands available for forestry will
produce. Wood for fuel is most urgently needed, also for posts
and house piling, structural materials for native use, and for
boxes and crates for the shipment abroad of the fruit and other
products of the Island.
“Altogether the working out of a successful forest policy to
meet these various needs, as well as the demands for a protective
cover to aid in the control of erosion, for shade along roads
and in cattle pastures, and the like, holds out alluring possibili-
ties for those who would enter a pioneer field.”
He attends the Unitarian church and in politics is a Repub-
lican. From December, 1902, to June, 1905, he served as
private in Troop A (National Lancers), 1st Battalion Cavalry,
Massachusetts Volunteer Militia. At Yale he received an elec-

the Philippines, not only in exploration of new countries and
under conditions entirely different from those at home, but in
the scientific and practical value of the results. There was

enough excitement incidental to these explorations to satisfy
one for the time. In China and Japan I got an insight into
these great civilizations and the currents of interest. Especially
interesting was an extended trip in those parts of China where
the revolution was at its height but a short time later. In
District 4, I did extensive work along the Grand Canyon of the
Colorado and also in the desert regions of Nevada. Since then,
have been on the intensive problems of New York State.”

GRADUATES CLASS OF 1907 173
Wilber was employed with the William M. Ritter Lumber
Company of West Virginia from June, 1907, to January, 1908,
when he became forest assistant in District 4 of the United
States Forest Service. Since July, 1910, he has held the position
of New Jersey state fire warden for the New Jersey Forest
Commission.
He writes: “Nearly two million acres of forest, largely within
reach of densely populated centers, traversed by an unusual
mileage of good roads, criss-crossed by a thousand miles of rail-
road, and in large part without the telephone, present in New
Jersey a field of work in forest protection in which a strong
foundation has been laid, but which still offers a wide scope
for work on the superstructure.
“Control of this situation now rests on a state fire warden
with four helpers, 275 local men under a township warden
system, and a small corps of fire lookouts and patrolmen.
Though it has its weaknesses, experience has proved that the
local system can eventually be relied on. The public understands
the fight on fire because it sees results and the local effort pro-
ducing them. The short step from forest protection to forest
development is taken by yearly increasing numbers. An annual
retainer of $10 to $20 to the wardens, with reasonable but not
attractive pay to them and all fighters at a fire, elicits creditable
activity and ready response whenever need arises. A strict
requirement of permits for all brush burning throughout the
year but latitude in handling individual situations by special
annual permits has engendered universal caution without causing
excessive inconvenience. Rigid imposition of some penalty for
every violation of the law, but the possibility of a reasonable
adjustment of its severity to the specific case, have made
supporters instead of enemies of most offenders.
“High efficiency comes slowly, but the fires are growing
smaller and their aggregate area less. Carelessness is giving
way to caution. Offenders punished now number hundreds
yearly. The woodlands, so repeatedly burned heretofore and
long rated of little value, are showing the effect of fire control,
for forests are spontaneous throughout the state and their recu-
perative powers prodigious. New Jersey, therefore, stands
committed to a policy of establishing forest values, existent and
potential, by guaranteed protection from fire.”

He writes: “As a forest assistant I was one of the second
batch to be sent to the National forests. I was first assigned to
the Old Henry’s Lake in Idaho. I was there principally con-
cerned with timber sale work and secured some figures on the
workings of the log scale in use in the Service which I am told
has been of much value. The following summer I spent in the
Washington office of the Service as district forester. Was
shortly afterward sent to the Leadville National Forest in Colo-
rado, where I remained about a year and a half doing principally
_administrative work. In the spring of 1909 I was transferred
to the Targhee as deputy supervisor, work altogether adminis-
trative, and that fall was placed in charge of the Pocatello
Forest, where I have been since. My principal interest from a
professional standpoint is in forestation problems. Since I have
been on this forest I have had a chance to engage in that line
on an extensive scale with some degree of success, but with
results still mainly undetermined.” |

He writes: “I have recently left the service of the Dominion
Forestry Branch, and am at present chief forester of the Pro-
vincial Forest Branch, recently established to administer the
public forest lands of the province of British Columbia.
“British Columbia covers about 350,000 square miles, and is
very similar in character to Washington, Oregon and Idaho.
The timber in the southern portion of the Province is similar
to that north of the 45th parallel of latitude, and west of the
115th parallel of longitude in the United States, with the dif-
ference that the valleys in British Columbia are narrower, and
QDUATIA,
“ ra
192 YALE FOREST SCHOOL
the mountains are steeper and higher, and there is a smaller
proportion of very heavy timber. In the northern portion of
British Columbia the timber consists chiefly of spruce and large
pine, and does not extend far from the rivers and lakes.
“The merchantable area of the Province has been estimated
at from 50 to 60 million acres.
“The Government has pursued the policy of refusing to part
with the title of timber land. Only about one million acres
of timber land have been granted in fee simple to private parties.
About nine million acres.of timber land have been leased to
private individuals. The remainder of the forest land, consist-
ing chiefly of timber at present considered inaccessible, and all
burned-over land covered with reproduction is still in the hands
of the Crown.
“The present revenue of the Province from timber leases and
from the royalty of 50 cents per thousand charged on all timber
cut amounts to $2,600,000 per year. This revenue will be largely
increased as the development proceeds. The indications are now
that there will be a rapid advance in the next few years.
“The new Forest Branch has been formed under the guidance
of Mr. Pinchot and Mr. Price, to administer the timber lands
and to develop the country by a wise forestry policy for the
Province. The Forest Branch is very young. There are at
present about twenty foresters, but the indications are that the
staff will need to be very largely increased during the next two
or three years. In order that the rangers and foresters may be
secured it is the intention of the Government to establish a
forestry school in connection with the new provincial university.”

appointed instructor in the University of Minnesota, being
placed in charge of the Forest Experiment Station. Since May
15, 1911, he has held the position of assistant state forester of
Minnesota.
He writes: “The first organized attempt to carry on forestry
work in Minnesota was authorized by the passage of the 1911
Forest Law. A few months later I undertook to hold down the
job of assistant state forester. In this position I have had a
200 YALE FOREST SCHOOL
try at nearly every phase of forestry work that one could
imagine.
“Fire protection was of course the first work. At the outset
we assumed that the majority of fires could be prevented simply
by having the right kind of men distributed throughout the
forest district, to remind people of the dangers of fire and also
point out situations where dangerous fires are liable to occur.
This naturally led us to the question of handling fires which
originate from railroad rights-of-way and to the disposal of
slash following logging operations.
“The railroads are now working in complete harmony with
this department, not only to prevent fires being started from
their locomotives, but also to extinguish any which may start
near the rights-of-way. They now realize that it is money well
spent to prevent fires on their rights-of-way, and also—what
is of more importance to us—that the care of railroad fires rests
with the companies themselves.
“Our district rangers have been selected with the greatest
care, and it is on them we depend for working out the details
of slash disposal on practically every logging job or woods
operation in the state. We have of course made it clear to the
rangers what are the objects of slash disposal, but it is up to
them to decide on the methods which will fulfill these objects.
Under certain conditions the slash must be disposed of as log-
ging proceeds; under others it must be burned in the early
spring; or it may be sufficient simply to dispose of the slashings
for a specified distance on either side of all logging roads and
on the boundaries of the logged-over tract.
“We have divided the forested area of the state into fourteen
large districts, with a ranger in charge of each. Under each
ranger there are patrolmen, the number of whom varies with
the necessity of patroling against the spread of fires. Aside
from this force, each railroad company provides patrolmen
sufficient to protect their rights-of-way. The lumber and mining
companies provide patrolmen of their own accord or when
requested to do so. A number of the townships have also levied
a special tax, to pay for a township patrolman and provide a
fire fighting fund. Telephones, trails, cabins and lookout towers
have been constructed to aid in the fire protection work.

“The opportunities for forestry work, I believe, are the best
in this state of any east of the Rockies. A great quantity of
timber is still uncut, and its utilization is a field in which the
forester may help. At present only a small area of land is
under the exclusive management of this department. The dis-
posal of three and one-half millions of acres of state school
_ lands is provided for in the state constitution, but since a great
deal of this land is suitable only for growing timber, the consti-
tution will eventually be changed so that the forest land can be
handled as such. Aside from this there are millions of acres
of privately owned land which must in time come back to the
state and will be used for the growth of timber. We are gath-
ering data to show the character and extent of all such non-
agricultural lands and when we have gathered sufficient data
the matter will be in shape for legislation. We have estimated
the amount of non-agricultural land in the state which should
be kept growing timber continuously, at about fifteen million
acres. To acquire such an amount of land and put it under
forest management looks like some job for the foresters.”

miles of crusted snow that hid the trail blazes for long stretches

mates, together with a general land classification of odd sections
included within the primary limits of the Northern Pacific Rail-

20, 1909, was transferred to the Kootenai National Forest and
a few months afterwards was appointed as deputy forest super-
visor. During March of 1911 I was again transferred to the

A year later he was transferred to the Coeur d’Alene National

Early in 1911 he wrote:
“Since the career of mechanical engineer and of naval architect
had ever seemed, throughout my college course, so equally entic-
ing that a decision between them was exceedingly difficult, it was
perhaps only natural that after graduation I should have clutched
eagerly the birchen rod of the school teacher. For two years I
was instructor of mathematics and physics at Williston Seminary,
Easthampton, Mass. Having thus given myself ample time for
choosing between the above-mentioned careers, I promptly entered
the Yale Forest School, where I spent another two years in trying
not to remember with what contempt I had, as an undergraduate,
looked upon all members of the graduate departments of the Uni-
versity. Last March I passed through the ordeal of Civil Service
examinations with sufficient success to be ordered westward, in
July. Ever since I have been contentedly busy on the Helena
National Forest, a very scattered area of some nine hundred
thousand acres, lying anywhere from one to forty miles from the
city of Helena, Mont. My work has been as diverse as is usual
in this line of activity—including timber-estimating, land classifi-
cation, surveying, mapping, and trying to remember which side
of a horse it is more orthodox to attempt to ascend—but the
major part of my time has been devoted to the Boulder Nursery,
where I serve as chief nursemaid to some four million infant pines
and firs.”

Coan writes: “Since graduation from the Yale Forest School
in June, 1910, I have been continuously in the employ of the
United States Forest Service. For a period of nearly two years
I was assigned to work on the Chelan National Forest. This
forest adjoins the main range of the Cascade Mountains (in
the state of Washington) and has a very rugged topography of
which I became fully aware before completing the extensive
reconnaissance of the forest. The unique feature of this forest
is the long and narrow lake included within its boundaries, which
is at once a wonderful piece of natural scenery, and an effective
aid to travel and fire protection. My work on this forest con-
sisted almost wholly in estimating timber and in managing a
timber sale.
“IT am at present located upon the Whitman National Forest
(Oregon), where for the past summer (1912) I have engaged
in intensive reconnaissance. This work consists in the map-
ping of topography, the forest types timber cover, and an accu-
rate examination and classification of the land to determine
244 YALE FOREST SCHOOL
its value for agricultural purposes. In addition, the value of
each section (the work thus far has been in surveyed country)
is determined for grazing and an accurate 10 per cent. estimate
is made by an estimator who works along with the compass—
or map man. The accuracy of mapping is dependent to a very
large extent on skilled use of the pocket compass and maintaining
a consistent pace for all varieties of topography.”
